Jamiroquai Teases New Album With “Automaton Transmission” Clip

The U.K. group announced their return alongside a raft of tour dates.

Jamiroquai has released a teaser for their upcoming album, Automaton. In the short video, entitled "#AUTOMATON TRANSMISSION 001," front man Jay Kay meanders through the desert and through industrial tunnels, accompanied by a preview of their synth-heavy new music. To complete the futuristic vibes Jay Kay has updated his trademark headpiece; long gone is oversized top hat made famous in 1996's "Virtual Insanity" video and in its place is a wearable LED lightshow.
